TOOLS ASK FIRST / DATA STAYS YOURS / HISTORY STAYS VISIBLE

Your data doesn’t need another place to live.

Software should come to it.

groundware lets tools request access to the files, notes, folders, and context you already control, without becoming the place that owns everything.Your notes stay where they are. Tools only see what you allow.

how access works

Tools ask before they touch your data.

groundware shows what a tool is asking for, what it can access, how long access lasts, and what happened after.

  • 01 A tool asks

your data stays yours

Your vault stays your vault.

groundware starts from the files and notes people already control. For Obsidian, that means your notes stay markdown and your vault stays recognisable.

Tools can ask for access to a folder without seeing the whole vault.

ways in / routes

One access layer. Many routes.

Routes are different ways for software to come to user-owned data. They aren't separate places to put everything.

folder layer

Open the deeper objects when you want more.

The homepage gives the core story. The folders hold the notes, logs, principles, and system details.

private beta

Software can be useful without taking the whole workspace.

We’re opening the first ground routes soon. Get notified when private beta access is ready.
